Covered with or wearing shoes; shod; also refers to having been treated with lime or calcium compounds.
From Latin 'calcatus,' past participle of 'calcare' (to tread, to wear shoes), derived from 'calx' (heel). Can also relate to 'calcis' (lime/limestone).
Medieval monks were sometimes called 'calced' when they wore shoes versus 'discalced' when they went barefoot—it's literally 'shoed vs. unshoed' in Latin, defining entire religious orders by their footwear!
